Synopsis

Grounded in multimodal theory and supported by practice in the classroom, Writer/Designer streamlines the process of composing multimodally by helping students make decisions about content across a range of modes, genres, and media from words to images to movement. Students learn by doing as they write for authentic audiences and purposes. With more and diverse real-world and student examples, the new edition illustrates how multimodal composition can amplify historically underrepresented voices and help to enact change.
